Netflix chief's four-word response fuels speculation that Meghan Markle could join 'The Gentlemen' season three cast

Meghan Markle, 45, is reportedly in talks for a role in Netflix's *The Gentlemen* season three — a remarkable reversal after the streamer dropped her lifestyle show in March.

Guy Ritchie's action-comedy series could yet feature the Duchess of Sussex, despite Tina Brown claiming the casting offer had already been withdrawn amid UK backlash.

At the upcoming Edinburgh TV Festival on Wednesday, Manda Levin, Netflix's UK scripted chief, is expected to face questions about whether Meghan Markle will join Guy Ritchie's crime drama 'The Gentlemen' for a third season. The 45-year-old Duchess of Sussex is reportedly in preliminary discussions for a role still being written into the scripts, with no deal signed. The festival appearance is set to coincide with the day Meghan and Prince Harry are expected to arrive in the UK with their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5. The family is preparing to relocate from Montecito, California, with both children set to be enrolled in British schools.

Royal commentator Tina Brown has suggested the casting offer could be withdrawn if a wave of backlash emerges in the UK.

Netflix previously dropped Meghan's lifestyle show 'With Love, Meghan' in March, cutting ties with her As Ever brand after two seasons.

Season two of 'The Gentlemen', starring Theo James and Kaya Scodelario, is set to premiere on September 3.
